I'm curious: how long do you boil quail eggs to get a soft yolk? What about hard yolk? I boiled quail eggs once, in Morocco where they were quite common at the market, and all I remember is that they were overcooked.

These look lovely, and quite "whimsical", much as I may hate that word.

Margie, I place quail eggs into simmering water and boil for 2-3 minutes, depending on the mood. 2 minutes gives a lovely soft yolk, 3 minutes almost a hard yolk (but still creamy). Any longer and they're already too hard, I find.Then I quickly cool them under running cold water and peel. That's the most tricky part!!!! :)
